“I have a 2000 chevy Monte Carlo with 56,000 miles on it. It has been nothing but trouble. Have had alot of repairs on it. Now it has a popping noise in the steering column, and loud front end noise. I was told the steering column problem had a recall on it,because one of my friends chevy impala had the same problem and theirs was fixed under recall. I contacted Chevrolet, they said there was no recall on my Monte Carlo. …”
NHTSA complaint #10273101, filed 2009-06, 1,200 miles“2000 chevy Monte Carlo with steering problems. Loud popping or clunking noise when turning at slow speeds. I've found several recalls for 2000 chevy Monte Carlo but it states my car isn't affected. Older model cars have issues with wear & tear but if there is a consistent problem with a make/model of car I would hope GM would investigate and prevent accidents. While going through the list of complaints it's very obvious it is a continuous problem and should be addressed asap. How many lives need to be lost before a total recall is issued?”
NHTSA complaint #10281815, filed 2009-08, 94,000 miles“I bought my 2000 chev Monte Carlo new in jan 2000. At approx 20000 miles I took it into the dealer because of 'rattling & clunking noise in steering column. The dealer determined that it was the 'intermediate shaft - it was fixed/replaced by the dealer at that time. At 37k miles - the same problem. Again, the dealer replaced the intermediate shaft. Now, at 77k miles - the same problem again. This time the dealer and GM will not pay for or cover the repair. While everyone admits that this is unusual - they say it is out of warranty . …”
